Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
Where a numerical value for the acceleration due to gravity (g) is needed, use 10ms−2.
需要使用重力加速度 g 的数值时,取 10ms−2。

先分解竖直、水平平衡,得到20sinθ=2F与20cosθ=√3F,再消去F。

Resolving vertically and horizontally respectively,
20sinθ=F+2Fsin30∘=2F,(1)20cosθ=2Fcos30∘=3F.(2)
Dividing (1) by (2),
tanθ=θ=32,49.106605…∘≈49.1∘.
Squaring and adding (1) and (2),
202=4F2+3F2=7F2.
Since F>0,
F=720≈7.56 (3 s.f.).

三力平衡也可构成闭合力三角形,先余弦定理求F,再正弦定理求θ。

The forces of magnitudes F and 2F act at an angle of 60∘ to each other. In the closed triangle of forces, their included interior angle is therefore 120∘.
By the cosine rule,
202=F2+(2F)2−2F(2F)cos120∘=7F2.
Thus F=20/7≈7.56 to 3 significant figures.
In the force triangle, the angle opposite F is θ−30∘. By the sine rule,
sin(θ−30∘)F=sin120∘20.
Hence
sin(θ−30∘)=7sin120∘.
The other two angles of the force triangle sum to 60∘, so θ−30∘ is acute. Therefore
